Lemon & Poppy Seed Cake and Socks

I have been at it again!

From the Hummingbird book it's my second cake and it turned out marvellous.



Really need to crack on with these socks. I did mess up the pattern and ignored my mistake and carried on regardless correctly buy my slight OCD kicked in and I ripped it back. So a slight set back but enjoying these Jaywalkers now...

Part of your 5 a day!

I recently picked up this book, The Hummingbird Bakery Cookbook' and decided I would like to make the blueberry cake. It called for a doughnut shaped cake tin, and thought I could easily pick one up. My local supermarket didn't have one and they were silly prices online.
Thank goodness for Home Bargains, where I got one for £1.99.
Here are some pictures. Mucho pleased with myself, saying I didn't have a electric hand mixer..

Liverpool

The weather was dry and bright but very cold and foggy in Liverpool on Saturday.
It must have been over 10 years since I was last here and it has changed a lot. Well the main thing being Liverpool One, a large shopping/food hall.
I also had a look in on Purlesque, a little knitting shop at the Blucoat centre. It was cute and small, not much stock.

Check out the pics below, oh we also bumped in to Elvis Costello in Oxfam too...
